    The differential in buying food at neighborhood bodegas or even the slowly improving MET on Fulton street to a place like Fairway is that it is so EXPENSIVE. (Thinking of Denton’s discourse on low income finance to Rob). In the Met, Amy’s soups are 3.99 a can (versus 2.59 at Fairway) or absolutly any canned food, any meat, fish (if you dare). In Yafa, sometimes I buy stuff (the corner bodega and they are actually cheaper than the MET) but off the charts more expensive compared to Fairway. Poor people get RIPPED off.

    do they not allow poor people in Fairway? of course bodegas have to charge more for cans of beans and stuff, but ever notice how dusty those are? no one really ever buys them. yet doritos are always fresh daily. i dont feel bad for poor people poor choice in food. kids, MAYBE. adults, no.
